Annual scan volume, duration of participation in the NTQR program, alternative initial credentialing pathway and number of other NT-credentialed providers within the practice are all associated with outcome metrics indicating quality of performance. It is critical that providers participate in ongoing quality assessment of NT measurement to maintain consistency and precision. Ongoing assessment programs with continuous feedback and education are necessary to maintain quality care. © 2021 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
